howie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For the record: Google did not rip off this Chinese site. If you use The Wayback Machine, you will notice that the colourful logo is in fact not the one from back, then, but it actually uses this one for the old version of the site:

http://web.archive.org/web/20050927072737/http://gmail.cn/gmail/images/gamail_logo.jpg

As you can see, it is from today. Most likely, the original logo is missing from archive.org, and looked completely different. It just gets the current logo to replace the old missing logo.
